Sorana Cirstea won't contest the Miami Open final after her magical run was stopped by Petra Kvitova who proved better in two sets 7-5 6-4.
Kvitova didn't start well in this match as Cirstea once again showed off her really strong ball-striking early. She was up 5-2 comfortably hitting the ball well and dominating on rallies. She didn't face any trouble on her serve either as she served well and was winning points easily. Kvitova only got her first break point at 5-3 in the first set and it was actually a game where Cirstea was up 40-15 with two set points.
The Romanian would end up losing that game and then even the set as Kvitova managed to win five games in a row after trailing 2-5. The second set didn't go any better as Cirstea lost the opening two games to make the Kvitova run 7 games in a row. Cirstea finally snapped the streak but by the time she started playing well again, Kvitova was in the clear.
The Czech player continued to hold her serve easily with Cirstea not seeing a single break point again. She finished off the final set 6-4 to book the final.
